Benjamin Moore

Lime Tart

2033-40

Lime Tart (2033-40) is a medium-saturation green with a clean, slightly cool undertone that keeps it from drifting into olive or chartreuse territory. At an LRV of 48.63, it sits near the middle of the reflectance scale and reads as a definite mid-tone green on the wall. The color holds its hue well across lighting conditions without washing out or going muddy.

Herb Garden or Morning Dew pair with it in a tonal green range, while Mysterious or Newburyport Blue introduce depth. White Dove or Balboa Mist work to soften transitions at trim and ceiling lines.
